Quarantine Day 11, March 26 2020

Please help us grieve, and see You at work even in the catastrophe of everything. Seemingly everything. All shall be well. Lord, all is not well. And that is not Scripture, and it makes me mad. Children are suffering. PEOPLE ARE DYING WITHOUT YOU. And without any loved ones near. Sometimes, alone. Please please intercede for these people. Please speak to them, call them to You. Open their eyes and minds and hearts. And make Your truth known through so much tragedy. Help people to proclaim the Gospel, everywhere and in every way possible.

Our hope is not in our stash of supplies, our hospitals, our neighbors, our money. It can't be. We have no hope but You. And You are all we need. Doggedly, angrily, and sometimes so peacefully I believe. Please fill us with Your Spirit. Please make Your Word come alive, go forth, bear fruit.

You know what fear and isolation do to people. Please keep us connected.
Help parents with kids right now. Help couples. Help them make schedules. Help them talk. Help them pray. Help them read aloud. Help them exercise together. Help them laugh until they roll. Help hold each other and cry. Help them make beautiful and useful and delicious things. Help them make music.

You made this day. Help me rejoice.
